TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to compounds which are useful for inhibiting protein kinases, methods of making the compounds, compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Protein kinases have been clearly shown to be important in the progression of many disease states that are induced by the inappropriate proliferation of cells. These kinases are often found to be up-regulated in many hyperproliferative states such as cancer. These kinases may be important in cell signaling, where their inappropriate activation induces cells to proliferate (e.g. EGFR, ERBB2, VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, c-Met, IGF-1R, RET, TIE2). Alternatively, they may be involved in signal transduction within cells (e.g. c-Src, PKC, Akt, PKA, c-Abl, PDK-1). Often these signal transduction genes are recognized proto-oncogenes. Many of these kinases control cell cycle progression near the G1-S transition (e.g. Cdk2, Cdk4), at the G2-M transition (e.g. Wee1, Myt1, Chk1, Cdc2) or at the spindle checkpoint (Plk, Aurora1 or 2, Bub1 or 3). Furthermore, kinases are intimately linked to the DNA damage response (e.g. ATM, ATR, Chk1, Chk2). Disregulation of these cellular functions; cell signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle control, and DNA repair, are all hallmarks of hyperproliferative diseases, particularly cancer. It is therefore likely that pharmacological modulation of one or more kinases would be useful in slowing or stopping disease progression in these diseases.

[0160] When any variable, substituent, or term (e.g. aryl, heterocycle, R¹², etc.) occurs more than one time in a formula or generic structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent of the definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable combinations.

[0161] Because carbon-carbon double bonds exist in the present compounds, the invention contemplates various geometric isomers and mixtures thereof resulting from the arrangement of substituents around these carbon-carbon double bonds. It should be understood that the invention encompasses both isomeric forms, or mixtures thereof, which possess the ability to inhibit protein kinases. These substituents are designated as being in the E or Z configuration wherein the term “E” represents higher order substituents on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond, and the term “Z” represents higher order substituents on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond.

[0162] Asymmetric centers exist in the compounds of the present invention. These centers are designated by the symbols “R” or “S,” depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. It should be understood that the invention encompasses all stereochemical isomeric forms, or mixtures thereof, which possess the ability to inhibit protein kinases. Individual stereoisomers of compounds can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials which contain chiral centers or by preparation of mixtures of enantiomeric products followed by separation such as conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation or recrystallization, chromatographic techniques, or direct separation of enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns. Starting compounds of particular stereochemistry are either commercially available or can be made and resolved by techniques known in the art.

[0163] In accordance with methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, the compounds can be administered alone or in combination with other anticancer agents. When using the compounds, the specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon factors such as the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the particular compound used; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the compound employed; the duration of treatment; and drugs used in combination with or coincidently with the compound used. The compounds can be administered orally, parenterally, osmotically (nasal sprays), rectally, vaginally, or topically in unit dosage formulations containing carriers, adjuvants, diluents, vehicles, or combinations thereof. The term “parenteral” includes infusion as well as subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intrasternal injection.

[0164] Parenterally adminstered aqueous or oleaginous suspensions of the compounds can be formulated with dispersing, wetting, or suspending agents.

Among the acceptable diluents or solvents employed are water, saline, Ringer's solution, buffers, monoglycerides, diglycerides, fatty acids such as oleic acid, and fixed oils such as monoglycerides or diglycerides.

[0165] The anticancer effect of parenterally administered compounds can be prolonged by slowing their absorption. One way to slow the absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising suspensions of crystalline, amorphous, or otherwise water-insoluble forms of the compound. The rate of absorption of the compound is dependent on its rate of dissolution which is, in turn, dependent on its physical state. Another way to slow absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising the compound as an oleaginous solution or suspension. Yet another way to slow absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising microcapsule matrices of the compound trapped within liposomes, microemulsions, or biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide, polyorthoesters or polyanhydrides. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer and the composition of the polymer, the rate of drug release can be controlled.

[0166] Transdermal patches can also provide controlled delivery of the compounds. The rate of absorption can be slowed by using rate controlling membranes or by trapping the compound within a polymer matrix or gel. Conversely, absorption enhancers can be used to increase absorption.

Powders and sprays can also contain excipients such as talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate, polyamide powder, or mixtures thereof. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons or substitutes therefore.

[0168] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs comprising inert diluents such as water. These compositions can also comprise adjuvants such as wetting, emulsifying, suspending, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

[0169] Topical dosage forms include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, and transdermal patches.

Suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration can be prepared by mixing the compounds with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter or polyethylene glycol, each of which is solid at ordinary temperature but fluid in the rectum or vagina. Ophthalmic formulations comprising eye drops, eye ointments, powders, and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

[0170] The total daily dose of the compounds administered to a host in single or divided doses can be in amounts from about 0.1 to about 200 mg/kg body weight or preferably from about 0.25 to about 100 mg/kg body weight. Single dose compositions can contain these amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

[0171] Determination of Biological Activity

[0172] Enzymatic Assays:

[0173] The Akt1 assay uses His-Akt1-S36, a truncated Akt1 containing a His tag at the N-terminus, amino acid 139-460 of Akt1 and the following point mutations: S378A, S381A, T450D and S473D. The His-Akt1-S36 assay is run in 96 well plates by incubating 1 nM His-Akt1-S36, 5 μM Biotin-BAD-peptide (Biotin) and 5 μM ³³P-ATP in 50 μL of reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.009% Triton X-100) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reactions are stopped by adding 25 μL of stopping buffer (4M NaCl and 0.1M EDTA). The samples are transferred to a Flash plate coated with streptavidin. The phosphorylation of BAD-peptide in the reactions is measured by counting the plate with the TopCount. Other kinase assays (Akt2, Akt3, PKA, PKC, Erk2, Chk1, Cdc2, Src, CK2, MAPK AP kinase 2, and SGK) are carried out similarly using their specific biotinylated peptide substrates and buffer conditions. Compounds of the invention inhibited Akt by 0-100% at a concentration of 1 μM. Preferred compounds had percent inhibitions of between 77 and 100 at 1 μM and more preferred compounds had percent inhibitions of between 92 and 100 at 1 μM. Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating disorders which are caused or exacerbated by increased protein kinase levels.
